Dove Cameron adds an Emmy to her resume

Depending on who you ask, Dove Cameron is either a Hollywood up-and-comer, or she's already made it.

The Bainbridge Island-raised actress added some cred to the latter opinion Friday night when she won a Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Award for her work in the Disney Channel series "Liv & Maddie: Cali Style."

Cameron, 22, won for Outstanding Performer in a Children's Preschool Children's or Educational and Informative Program. "Cali Style" was the fourth year of her run playing both twin-sister title characters, self-possessed Liv and tomboyish Maddie.

Since her move to SoCal from Bainbridge, Cameron has established herself both as an actress on television and in movies and as a singer, recently signing with Columbia Records. She also scored big triple-threat points with good notices in NBC's 2016 production of "Hairsrpay Live," in the ingenue role of Amber Von Tussle.

Cameron won in her first time being nominated for an Emmy. She has also garnered two Blimp Award nominations for "Liv & Maddie" (Favorite Female TV Star in 2017, Favorite TV Actress in 2016), shared an MTV Movie & TV Awards nomination with the cast of "Hairspray" (Best Musical Moment) and was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards (TV Actress — Comedy and TV Breakout Star, both in 2013).

Cameron's six-show arc on the ABC-Marvel series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." just wrapped up, but she's working on the third entry in Disney's "Descendents" franchise, due out in 2019. She'll also be heard voicing a character in the "Angry Birds Movie" sequel, also out in 2019.

Prior to that, she's got a leading role in the Jennifer Aniston-produced movie "Dumplin'," scheduled for release later this year.
